Reflex
With its revolving dance floor and relatively wet ground, this 80s bar is a haven for both young and old sharks searching for prey. The revolving floor, or rotating kebab is often watched from the depths of the sea, otherwise known as the wet flooring from an innocent party goers perspective. The sharks in Reflex, especially those more matured, are often harmless and generally just rotate around the room, livin’ on a prayer with their eyes fixated on the aforementioned dancefloor-kebab, but they rarely strike.
Mansion
Mansion is the place where you will probably find the greatest number of sharks; some of which hunt in packs. The overcrowded dance floors and sweaty atmosphere are what gives this place a unique charm but equally makes it an ideal hunting ground for the sharks. However, their success rate within the dripping walls remain as low as anywhere else. The layout of the club with its winding corridors and staircases means an escape route is never too hard to find, and they soon lose interest. But if you fancy a spot of shark watching there is no doubt Mansion is definitely the place to do it.
Willow
Willow is where the more audacious and carefree sharks gather. It is said that the string of blue lights and carefree swimmers have been attracting the more wild sharks for many years, although the swimmers are rarely perturbed by the sharks and welcome them as part of the making of a great night. Willow Sharks, although more active, are generally the weakest of the sharks, as they can easily be brushed off. Therefore, although they are extremely lustful, they are equally weak and carefree and Willow remains a popular destination amongst the student population.
The Library
The recent decision to have a 24 hour library has proven popular with library lovers, especially in the run up to exam season. However, some sharks have been lost at sea and it is rumoured that they have wound up in the library, snatching sneaky glances at innocent library-goers. The Library shark is often unpredictable, however, due to the library’s policy on ‘quiet study’, the sharks are often kept at bay. Some dispute their existence, as they are rarely sighted, but when they are the accompanying stories are often troubling.
I am said shark.
McDonalds is the best sharking location. The hungry whales, also known as locals gather to have their extra dinner whilst their young are left in the nest. By using a ‘double cheeseburger’ as bait, there is no risk of failure.
This is a ridiculous and ill informed piece.
Mansion/Ziggy’s is a no go area unless you’re in a sports team. They bunch up and it’s not conducive to the shark (usually an above average looking sports fan, but couldn’t be bothered to actually play).
Kuda is kind – the cornucopia of crammed bodies means a submissive pull, if only to make some space on the dance floor.
Tokyo’s dance floor is the most facilitating. Big enough to get knocked back down but get back up again. Persistence is key.
Salvation is a hub for York’s looser students, namely York St Johns.
Revs is a classy pull if you can manage it, but you might have to let your wallet be your wingman. Birds who made the effort to wear that silk black dress will make you make the effort to take it off.
Willow, I’ll admit, is a prime location. It can salvage any strike out, albeit with questionable quality.
As for the library, WHO EVEN DOES THAT? Unless you’re into Asians.
Incidentally, campus events are fish in a barrell – especially those in Derwent College. And you don’t have to worry about the taxi back!
